Summary
Summary
Around the world, baby animals eat to grow big and strong. Whether it's bear cubs snacking on clams, giraffes munching on leaves, or chimpanzee babies drinking milk from their moms, baby animals eating are not only adorable--they can teach us about animal behavior, too.
The third book in the Baby Animals series, Baby Animals Eating showcases more than 10 species from around the world eating different things. Stunning, intimate, full-color photographs by Suzi Eszterhas are each paired with a short sentence highlighting information about the animal. Designed both to be read aloud and for young children to explore independently, this book will encourage readers to make connections between themselves and the animals. Back matter gives further information about Suzi Eszterhas and some behind-the-scenes detail.

Horn Book Review
What preschooler can resist photos of baby animals feeding with their parents? The close-up pictures show a variety of animals, each accompanied with a few sentences explaining what's going on. Occasional anthropomorphizing ("Koalas are very picky eaters") is appropriate for the intended audience. The final two pages have author-photographer Eszterhas introducing herself and quick facts about a few more animal babies. (c) Copyright 2019.

Kirkus Review
A longtime wildlife photographer presents an album of her photographs of baby animals eating.Eszterhas, who has observed and photographed animals around the world, strings these irresistible images together with short explanations of what and how they're eating. Brown bears, koalas, jackals, penguins, egrets, cheetahs, monkeys and chimpanzees, giraffes, warthogs, raccoons, orangutans, and slothsthe animals range from the familiar to the unusual, at least in a book for very young readers. Most of the pictures seem to have been taken in the wild, and often they include a parent: a mother brown bear giving her cub a fish; monkeys, chimps, and warthogs nursing from their mothers; father jackals and penguins regurgitating food for their offspring. The images expand to fill most spreads, and there are occasional insets to vary the design. A final spread introduces the photographer and seven more animals, including an orphaned serval kitten the author bottle-fed (as she recounted in Moto and Me, 2017). The descriptions are short and use appropriate vocabulary, including specialized terminology for the animal babies. The book could be shared one-on-one with even very young listeners, who will be entranced by the pictures and informed by the read-aloud text.An appealing addition to any nature-themed collection.

Booklist Review
Wildlife photographer Eszterhas continues her Baby Animals series (Baby Animals Moving, 2018) by presenting photographs that feature tiny creatures engaged in that most important of tasks: chowing down on the food that will help them grow. In glossy, detailed, and often-enchanting photographs, Eszterhas introduces little humans to the family lives and eating habits of several different kinds of animals. A father jackal spits up meat he's already eaten for his cubs; warthog piglets clamor for their mother's milk; an orangutan mom chews up fruit and passes it to her baby with her mouth. Eszterhas folds some basic biology facts, easy for young readers to comprehend, into the narrative: raccoons can eat almost anything, as a baby raccoon with a quail egg attests, and the notoriously slow sloth has an even-slower digestive system. A final spread provides some fast facts about a slew of additional animals. The pictures are the clear scene-stealers, but burgeoning biologists will find plenty to chew on here.--Reagan, Maggie Copyright 2010 Booklist
